Absolutely cheapest would be greyhound... you can find the nearest bus hub, and throw them on a bus. They'll get them to a greyhound hub nearest the buyer. I've used it a couple times for large items, wheels, bumpers, etc...works flawlessly.

Definitely, unless the prices have skyrocketed, it should only be about $80 total. I would give them a call tomorrow or stop by if there is one nearby.

They use UPS or Fedex, whichever provides the best price for the specified shipment. Not sure how its cheaper. I had to call customer service to get it organized tho, it's not sophisticated. You can also choose the specific shipper, but again through customer service. $0.02
